This is the Travis Barker Artist Series stick, turned from hickory to the dimensions he plays, with a black finish. Signature sticks exist because a player’s balance point and taper preference differ from the standard gauges.
It is built for high-velocity punk and rock playing where sticks take a beating, and suits drummers who find a standard 5A too light in the hand.
The Avedis Zildjian Company has made cymbals since 1623 and manufactures them at its factory in Norwell, Massachusetts; its drumsticks are turned at the company’s Newport, Maine plant.
